German Plant Phenotyping Network (DPPN e.V.)
DPPN e.V. is a national network of three German research centers: Forschungszentrum Jülich, Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics & Crop Plant Research Gatersleben and the Helmholtz Center Munich. The mission of DPPN e.V. is to provide facilities for plant phenotyping and research into plant traits related to roots, above-ground plant organs and seeds. In addition, phenotyping of phytopathological processes, interfaces of omics technologies and methods for field phenotyping are developed and applied.
Deutsches Pflanzen-Phänotypsierungs-Netzwerk (DPPN e.V.)
Within the infrastructure project "DPPN" (2013-2021, FKZ: 031A053), innovative facilities for plant phenotyping were developed and implemented at the Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), Leibniz Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) Gatersleben and Helmholtz Zentrum München (HMGU) in Germany. Thus, the DPPN project makes a decisive contribution to reducing scientific bottlenecks for modern plant breeding and plant research in Germany.
With the completion of the DPPN project, a comprehensive portfolio of new and innovative methods and facilities with high quality and increased throughputs is now available for users with plant phenotypic questions.
The three DPPN project partners joined forces in 2018 to form the DPPN e.V. association in particular to support and ensure the long-term provision of the facilities for conducting excellent research on plant optimization and breeding beyond the duration of the DPPN project.
Within "DPPN-Access" national access to the facilities will be granted to users who have no - or only insufficient - funds available and would not be able to carry out the work without the support from the DPPN-ACCESS. This is aimed in particular to university users and users from other publicly funded research institutions in Germany. Access to the facilities is granted on the basis of a simple application procedure.
DPPN e.V. initially acquired the BMBF-funded pilot project "DPPN-ACCESS" (01.01.2022-31.12.2023). The requirements for the application procedure and the application guidelines were drawn up and two calls were launched. Here you can find the results of the funded user experiments.
In order to ensure the implementation of further external user projects in the longer term, the BMBF-funded follow-up project "DPPN-ACCESS 2.0" (01.01.2024-31.12.2028) was acquired. The follow-up project DPPN-ACCESS 2.0 is intended to ensure an extended value creation of the funds invested in the DPPN project and thus contribute to improving the conditions for national research in the field of plant phenotyping. Further calls for access will be launched.
